2 Benefits of Figure Skating Fun and Enjoyment Fitness / Health Cardiovascular conditioning Strength Balance Flexibility Socialization Self-esteem Goal setting Sense of accomplishment Self discipline Time management Value of hard work Life-long sport College applications Career Preamble: The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles: 1. respect 2. responsibility 3. fairness 4. caring 5. trustworthiness 6. good citizenship The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these six pillars of character (Arizona Sports Summit Accord) I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all skaters, coaches and officials at every practice session, competition and test session I will encourage my child to skate in a safe and healthy environment Make sure your coach is registered I will teach my child that doing one s best is more important than winning I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participant for making a mistake or blame my child s teammate for placement in a competition I will do my best to make skating fun and remember that my child participates for his/her own enjoyment and satisfaction, not mine I will ask my child to treat other skaters, coaches, fans and officials with respect I will applaud good effort in both victory and defeat emphasizing the positive accomplishments and learning from the mistakes I will respect my child s coach and refrain from coaching my child or other skaters during competitions and practices because it may conflict with the coach s plan or strategies I will respect the decisions of officials and their authority during competitions and test sessions and teach my child to do likewise
